The Vicarious, Sacrificial, Atoning Death of Jesus Christ

Many Christians seek the meaning behind the death of Jesus Christ. In The Vicarious, Sacrificial, Atoning Death of Jesus Christ, author Fr. Steven Scherrer explores the impact of Jesus crucifixion and the benefits that we receive from his death.

This collection of Biblical essays, garnered from sermon messages, looks at the mystery of the crucifixion from a variety of scripturally based points of view. These essays reflect on many aspects:

How Christs death establishes, upholds, and fulfills Gods law
How Christs death differs from that of all the martyrs
How profoundly Christ suffered
How Christ suffered the just punishment due to our sins
How Christs death ransoms us from death

The Vicarious, Sacrificial, Atoning Death of Jesus Christ seeks to integrate Jesus atoning death into a personalistic understanding of the Trinity and explore its benefits to us. It comes as an affirmation of the New Testament doctrine that Jesus death was both vicarious and sacrificial, and that it saves those who believe in him from their sins, justifying, and making them into a new creation, resplendent in Gods sight.
